You have endured through work and patience and a graceful taking of what life is and finding some good in it.<br /><br />Right now it is hard for me to see the good in this administration or in the Republican Congress. But perhaps all this lack of integrity and this non-compassion will lead many of us to stand up in a new way for what we believe. Maybe we all are realizing that we've taken for granted many aspects of our constitution and our way of life. Perhaps this is the clarion call to consider what we want our country to be, to stand for, and to represent to us and to the rest of the world.<br /><br />We can make change happen. Thank you for reminding me of this. Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-55193184562450047042017-12-06T17:48:24.395-05:002017-12-06T17:48:24.395-05:00Thank goodness you were able to get proper care fo...Thank goodness you were able to get proper care for your brain injuries, Joanne.

I think the economy is not as predictable as it used to be; with the digital age things are less like the past and more uncertain; just about everything we learn about the federal government is disheartening; using tax dollars to pay sex harassment claims, unbelievable; this is part of what I think Trump wants to clean up - the swamp of the politicians; I think we'd be better off with folks who are not politicians in office and term limits for senate and house just like the president, only two terms and no retirement, they should get jobs in the private sector; that for every elected official no matter city county state or federal.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-78969007457133319742017-12-05T00:29:53.205-05:002017-12-05T00:29:53.205-05:00I haven't kept up with the news, so I don'...I haven't kept up with the news, so I don't know what Trump has done.<br />"..expand medicare, strengthen social security, revitalize the social security net.." those are all good things it seems to me.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-8206807393983545412017-12-04T23:15:11.215-05:002017-12-04T23:15:11.215-05:00I will never give up, though one does get tired.
